According to People, the actor and his wife skipped two scheduled court dates in Santa Barbara, Calif., earlier in the week and are wanted by the state of California as fugitives.

"If they're picked up in California, they will be put in jail," Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter told the mag. "They cannot be released on bail until they come back here and a judge [agrees to] set bail for them."

The Quaids' trouble started after allegedly not paying a $10,000 hotel bill last June – a charge they pleaded not guilty to – and previously missing multiple court dates. A previous arrest warrant was issued for the couple last December. The couple has avoided jail time so far by eventually posting bond.
